MONUMENT DAY.

v,rsous Orders Giving Information Regarding The Sunday school And PubHc School BattaII Oms-The Mill tary-Notes of Interest.
 Hundreds of people visited East Rock Park yesterday. The pleasant weather brought the people out from their homes and the point of interest was the park. At one time during the day there was a perfect string of teams ascending the Farnam drive It was estimated that fully three thousand people were on the rock and about the park during the afternoon. Many out of town teams were also noticed. People from sur rounding towns drove to the park to see the handsome soldiers monument which, oi course, was viewed by all eyes. Three base figures are in place on the monument, and f he fourth one will be put in place before Friday Workmen during the past week ha ve been grading and finishing the grounds about the base. It is to be regretted tha, there was not more time for the erection of z coping about the monument, as it would have added much to the beauty and synme | Nry of the monument. Work on the different stands is progressing rapidly.
